List of sources & further reading

Rob – ever the academic – has told us he is cringing as he reveals this to you:
some of the information in this book comes from Wikipedia. The source is
banned in academic circles, but, as even his master’s supervisor admitted, it’s
a great starting point for information.

So, thanks to Wikipedia for a good overview of some of what we’ve discussed
here. It’s the power of crowdsourcing, and the wisdom of the village. We
have included links to each page we accessed, in good academic fashion, so
you can click and read some more. In some instances the information was
procured offline, in which case you would need to find the source elsewhere
(though it is probably also available online ).
